Question for you Robert: How much and what type of work are you looking to do to build your ultimate sport sedan?
My opinion: Hot-rodding a later-model Audi is very expensive and difficult. The level of integration present in the controls systems (ECM, TCM, ABS, instrumentation) is extensive. "User upgrades" get pretty much limited to interior, exterior, and suspension changes. For practical purposes, motor mods are limited to chip upgrades, bigger turbos, and exhaust mods. Forget about transmission upgrades.
(OK - I know that there are more mods available for the later cars and they are all very expensive.)
I think the "latest" project I would chase would be to find a urS4 (early A6 styling, 20V 5 cyl turbo, available with manual/quattro, and the ECM pretty much stands alone from the rest of the computers on the vehicle - but hard to find one available).
Otherwise, find a later S6 Avant and bring it back to factory spec. (Plenty of car there.)
On the other hand, dropping an LS motor into a BWM e28 sounds like lots of fun...
